My thoughts and prays go out the entire family. "Aunt Gladys" was an important part to my growing up years and was vital as my Mom's best friend until my own mother's passing. She was right there helping out with my wedding and over the years I thought of her often. I see my mom, Janet and Gladys now doing what they did best, laugh and know that they are in a much better place today! She has a special place in my heart! My thoughts and prays go out to the entire Abel family and beyond. Sincerely, Pat Spillers Bill
